Opal Ann (left) is usually a little more shy than her twin Ruby. They were born in the middle of April. All three have the softest wool. It is supposed to be "next to the skin soft" so no itchies or pickies from their wool. As they age it's only supposed to get softer, which is usually the opposite with all other breeds of sheep.

Sully is our little guy, he was born in the middle of May. We can get close enough to feed him hay, but still too shy to let us pet him. I have to go buy some new fabric for his coat. Caitlin doesn't think pink plaid will do.

We picked-up the new lambs today. They were very well behaved on the ride home. Louisa and Eleanor don't mind the new roomates at all, we thought they would need to be separated for awhile. From left to right: Sullivan, Opal Ann, and Ruby.

The kids got the ok to demolish the rotting willow stump in the backyard a couple weeks ago. It was so bad that it only took a couple hours to clear out. I need to go to Weesies to get some plants to fill the spot. The plants should hopefully be on clearance by now.
